OVERALL: Draw
R1 and R2/R4 UEs, for the new transfer, DTS, and extras. Original Mono-track is included on the R1 UE, but not on R2/R4 UE's.
If you want to hear the "banned" audio commentary for the original Criterion laserdisc release, please see the link HERE (The James Bond 007 Dossier).
General notes (source: Glenn Erickson - DVD Savant/DVDtalk - from research by Gavin Salkeld):
"Among the cuts that had to be made by the BBFC, are the following -
1) References to "lovers" and "physical enjoyment" have been cut. There's no indication of exactly where these references appear.
2) The dance in the Gypsy Camp has been shortened to remove wriggling and shots of the women bending over backwards, as a small amount of pubic hair is on show.
3) The fight that follows between the Gypsies and the Bulgars has been considerably reduced.
4) Tania walking nude towards the Bridal Suite bed was cut for the cinema release, but reinstated into video and DVD editions. In all editions I've seen, the actress or her double is actually wearing a body stocking and is veiled by some curtains.
5) Bonds reference to searching Tania is missing, and the kissing is reduced.
6) Tania's remark, "I hope I came up to expectations" is cut.
7) The scene of the two of them in bed has been darkened and shortened.
8) The use of "Was I" in "Was I as exciting as all those Western girls?" has been changed to "Am I?" The past tense implies that the couple have had sex, while the present tense implies that Bond just finds her attractive.
9) Bond's line "two hours should straighten this out" as he lowers the blind on the Orient Express is cut.
10) Killer Red Grant (Robert Shaw) gets the drop on Bond in his compartment on the Orient Express. Grant's remark "What a performance!" when he throws the compromising 8mm film reel at Bond is removed.
11) The subsequent Bond-Grant fight is shorter than it was originally.
12) When Bond shoots SMERSH assassin Rosa Kleb (Lotte Lenya) in the Venice hotel room, shots of her dying have been trimmed and removed, and her death cries have been muted on the soundtrack.
13) Bond's repeat of Red Grant's quip, "What a performance!" as he examines the film reel in the Gondola, has been cut.
It was this edited version which was to be circulated throughout the world" - hence listed as "no cuts".
Subtitle issues (source: "James Bond DVD Guide" by Richard Crowther - Zetaminor):
Two scenes sometimes includes subtitle translations for the Russian dialogue (all DVDs are the same as the previous home video releases: no subtitles):
1) A sequence early on in the film, where Tatiana Romanova leaves Istanbul's Russian Consulate General with two colleagues (13:35 min - PAL).
2) ..Shortly afterwards, makes her way to a meeting with Rosa Klebb, asking a policeman for directions as she goes (14:00 min - PAL). -
